Sensemaking and Neuroaesthetics: Neuroarts and the Spectrum of Neurodiverse Experiences by James Hutson , Piper Hutson , Morgan Harper-NicholsEnglish | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 3031580443 | 42.2 MB
This book investigates the complex interrelationships between neuroscience, arts, technical design, and the spectrum of neurodivergent conditions, introducing the emerging topic of neuroarts. It emphasizes the power of art and technologies as a multisensory tool for helping neurodivergent individuals discover their sensory preferences, and for neurotypical individuals to broaden their understanding of the world by simulating different sensory experiences. Drawing on the enactivism theory, which posits that cognitive processes are inherently shaped through the dynamic interplay between an organism and its environmental context, the authors discuss the applications of emerging technologies and propose a new theory to discuss and identify ‘neurotribes’ based on their relation to sense making or the body.
